07/16/2018 – IGN, the world leader in games and entertainment media, has revealed its plans for the biggest date in the global pop culture calendar, San Diego Comic-Con 2018 – the largest event dedicated to the comic, movie and TV industries.

The year, IGN’s SDCC 2018 coverage airs from July 19th to 22nd – live from the show floor and packed halls of San Diego’s Convention Center, IGN’s dedicated studio at the Hard Rock Hotel, as well as events throughout the historic Gaslight District. Fans are promised 14 hours of live coverage.

IGN Live from SDCC streams will be packed with content for entertainment enthusiasts worldwide – with live coverage of the big panels including Warner Bros., The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Sony, Marvel Games, Doctor Who and more, as well as pre and post panel analysis from IGN’s respected team of experts. Throughout the streams, big actors, producers and guests will be live with IGN, showcasing the latest trailers, behind-the-scenes footage, and the best of Comic-Con’s awesome cosplay.

IGN’s Comic-Con programming will include content from 20th Century Fox’s Predator, interviews with DC’s Jim Lee and Dan DiDio and the cast of Avengers: Infinity War, The Walking Dead and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as well as Dragon Ball Super: Broly, The Flash, Riverdale, Call of Duty and many more.

Twitter is once again IGN’s official live streaming platform and broadcast partner for its SDCC coverage, following last year’s successful collaboration. Fans worldwide are invited to react in real-time on Twitter to the big news and reveals from the Convention Center and participate via live chat on IGN’s homepage and partner platforms.

IGN is also providing fans with exclusive access to new content in partnership with Fox, Amazon and PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG) MOBILE. Join IGN for a look at Deadpool’s Super Duper Dance Party, and a tour of Blind Al’s apartment. Check out IGN’s mission in the Jack Ryan Training Field by infiltrating, fighting and evading enemies to gain full field clearance. Finally, IGN will be finding out what fans have to say about PUBG MOBILE – the free-to-play title that launched earlier this year on iOS and Android devices – and just dropped updates like War Mode, a clan system, in-game rewards and more!

Fans can enjoy the incredible Comic-Con experience no matter what device or platform they use, with IGN Live from SDCC available across more than 20 platforms, including IGN.com, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram Stories and IGN’s Snapchat Discover channel, as well as IGN’s mobile apps for iOS and Android and OTT apps on Apple TV, Microsoft’s Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4. For the first-time, fans will be able to watch IGN from SDCC on Mixer, too. IGN offers any site the ability to embed its live feed from the show.

Terri Schwartz, Entertainment Content Lead at IGN, said:

"Last year, IGN's San Diego Comic-Con coverage attracted more than 34 million users, generating almost 200 million views to videos and articles and around 600 million social impressions in just 5 days. We're excited to once again bring some of the excitement of Comic-Con to the millions of users who can't attend in person."

This year, IGN’s famous Comic-Con party is Jack Ryan-themed and presented by Amazon Prime Video. The exclusive event takes over the Andaz Hotel rooftop and is invite only.
